2024 World Championship Top 8 - Upper Bracket PC-Movie Decks

[TelTura]

On October 26th, 2024, the top 8 players in the world challenged each other for the chance to call themselves the World Champion.  The event was a double-elimination tournament, meaning that each player was only eliminated after losing twice.  The Upper Bracket was made up of everyone who was as-yet undefeated, and the Lower Bracket was made up of everyone with 1 loss.  In this event, the Upper Bracket games were all played with PC-Movie decks, while the Lower Bracket were all played with PC-FOTR decks.  See the thread for PC-FOTR decks here.

When it came down to the final 2, the format shifted to a Best of 3.  The first match was PC-Movie, and the format for every match after that would be determined by the loser of the previous match. 



Each deck and replay is shown below.  Remember that all cards utilize PC Errata, even if the non-errata'd version is shown below, and that set V1 cards are also legal.
